[Verse 1]
Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9
I've been run down, and I've been lied to,
G Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G Am D6/9 Am7
And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool
D6/9 G Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G
She took all my money, wrecked my new car
Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G
Now she's with one of my good time buddies
Am D6/9 Am7
Drinkin' in some cross town bar
[Chorus]
* D7 ** E7
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
A D7 D7/C
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post
A D7 D7/C
Tied to the whippin' post,
A D7 D7/C
Tied to the whippin' post,
C N.C.
Good lord, I feel like I'm dying

My friends tell me that I've been such a fool,
Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G
And I have to stand by and take it, baby, all for loving you.
Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G
Drown myself in sorrow and I look at what you've done,
Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G
But nothing seems to change, the bad times stay the same
Am D6/9 Am7
And I can't go on
[Chorus]

He means to take an Am and slide it up so that you have the B string, 3rd fret (not 2nd), G and A strings on the 4th fret, open high string. (Just slide a normal Am uo 2 frets). The next chord is a C-dim. Hold the B,G, and A strings on the 5th fret - High E open. Picture an A chord played on the 5th fret. Repeat this pattern throughout the verses.

Thanks for this, but I don't understand what you mean by Am(on 2nd fret) A(on 5th fret). Do you mean played barred?
